APHA Scientific Session and Event Listing
Session: Epidemiologic Methods
4026.0: Tuesday, November 07, 2006: 8:30 AM-10:00 AM
Oral
Epidemiologic Methods
This session is devoted to presentations involving epidemiologic methods. Particular presentations will cover topics such as public health reporting using ICD-10- CM, the use of random digit dialing to recruit older minorities for research, using GIS to determine which minority communities are at highest risk for late stage breast cancer diagnosis, the use of sequency symmetry analysis over other more traditional study designs, and assessing bias in population-based studies.
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant (learner) in this session will be able to: 1. Describe how ICD- 9 compares to ICD-10 in terms of capturing public health data 2. Recognize the difficulties of random-digit dialing for recruitment in the contemporary climate of cell phones, caller-id, and telemarketing fatigue. 3. Create a set of factors that are potential causes of breast cancer disparities, including social factors, health system utilization, access to care, economic status, environmental and neighborhood effects 4. Identify situations in epidemiologic research when sequence symmetry analysis should be considered over traditional cohort or case-control study designs 5. Identify factors associated with participation in a genetic study of immunity to the Measles-Mumps-Rubella Vaccine and whether these factors will potentially bias study results
